Marie the Beachcomber
Manage episode 423126949 series 1257545
Marie King has been making cocktails longer than most of us in the tiki bar business. She got an early start in hospitality at the age of 16 and couldn’t wait to get behind the bar. But, in order to do that, she’d have to move away from her home in Southern California and make her way to The Big Easy, New Orleans. But her travels weren’t done yet. She spent time trekking across Europe and getting a feel for a different way of doing things behind the bar before returning to Los Angeles to run LA’s oldest tiki bar, the Tonga Hut.
Now ten years later, she finds herself running the iconic beverage program for THE tiki originator… Don The Beachcomber. It’s been an incredible journey, one that would be nigh impossible to replicate in modern times. Mix up a Zombie and tune in to hear how she did it.
